moved our live trucks where you can see where this happened. just so now -- just so you know, the westbound traffic is closed because investigators are still gathering evidence inside this complex. they want to make sure this is a thorough investigation because this is -- is the first officer-involved shooting of the year. last night at around 11:00, the caller called to say her roommate was being attacked by her husband. whenever officers arrived, they saw a man who was naked with a knife. they asked him to stop and drop his weapon. when he did not, officers opened fire and shot the suspect. the neighbors heard gunshots. >> they were really quick shots, really close to each other. less then ten. it happened very quickly.

itself. this is in a strip mall on contra costa boulevard in pleasant hill. the fire outside was fairly small and knocked out in short order by fire crews. all signs point to an intentional start. >> when we arrive, our first attempt is to try to determine where the fire may have started and we try to get that to a small enough area and then you may be on hare hands and knees -- on your hands and knees looking for evidence, sifting through the debris. >> reporter: he poured out the contents of the molotov cocktail and that bottle that was found there will be checked for fingerprints. you can see a woman who has
